Homeland Security, SANS Internet Storm Center etc.

By the way, I also noticed that the new site for your project has the
current threat level as yellow. Is it safe to assume that you've already got
your metric systems in place and running?



Yes,

We do have a working framework for color code generation. The inputs
to this function include

*exploits released in the past week
  - The severity of the exploit
  - The application it was in
  - The language
  - estimated users of the software

*The previous week's color

*Localized nature of exploits.

We cannot comment more on this until it is refined and standardized.
If you are (or know) an antivirus vendor, please contact me offline to
move ahead.
